there is a deficit of trust with this president, his administration in light of benghazi. american people are very suspect what we're told, especially now when there is a contradiction. if the justice department is wrong or right, that has to be determined by the administration immediately because either he was or he wasn't or yet to be determined. one thing is for sure -- now there is a contradiction between the executive branch that must be dealt with. >> megyn: you know, simon, it's newsweek, daily beast citing one intel official. steve hayes goes on to say, according to officials that spoke to weekly standard, both comments reflect the obama officials who were involved with the investigation. this is not an al-qaeda central inspired or instructed attack. you know why people are going to look into this. the president's critics feel he is too quick to dismiss terrorist inspiration from outside the country in attacks we've seen attempted here. >>> well, think what the administration has said as opposed to scary with us yus people that work in the administration, white hou
